This inspiring program explores themes of resurrection, joy, and spiritual reflection from Baroque, 20th-century, and 21st-century musical voices. Under the direction of Stephen Zork, this performance also serves as the graduate choral conducting recital of Jahaziel Gutierrez, marking an important milestone in his musical studies. Gutierrez will lead a chamber orchestra selected from the Andrews University Symphony Orchestra joined by organists Kenneth Logan and Brenton Offenbach. Community members are warmly encouraged to support Gutierrez and the university choirs in the student-led program that celebrates the Easter season with depth, beauty, and artistry.   Event Details:  Saturday, April 4  8:30 p.m.  Howard Performing Arts Center      Contact the Howard Performing Arts Center <a href="https://howard.andrews.edu/">https://howard.andrews.edu/</a>   ___________________   Andrews University Singers Conductor: Stephen Zork The Andrews University Singers is the select choir of the Department of Music and represents Andrews University locally, nationally and abroad through concert tours, television broadcast and audio recordings.
